Around 2003-2004. I was still a bit of a Linux noob, just getting to grips with Gentoo.

Had two no-name WiFi adapters that weren't directly supported under Linux. Found some obscure forum thread that mentioned them, along with which lines in which source code driver to change to make these adapters work.

Wow nice one! I don't think anyone outside of Gentoo or LFS would even go there.
